  • 2 c. crushed ice
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar

Tips & Substitutions

For a thicker milkshake, reduce the milk slightly or add more ice. You can substitute fresh strawberries with frozen ones for a chillier treat, but adjust the sugar based on sweetness. If you prefer a healthier version, consider using almond milk or coconut milk instead of regular milk. For extra flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the milkshakes in tall glasses, topped with whipped cream for an indulgent touch. They pair wonderfully with light snacks like cookies or fruit platters. For a fun twist, consider serving alongside Aunt Marie'S Apple Cake for a delightful dessert spread.

Storage & Reheating

Strawberry milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To rehydrate, give it a good stir or blend again to restore its smooth consistency, as the ingredients may separate.
